The first day of Spring is just around the corner (March 20) and I thought what better way to celebrate the hopefully impending warm weather than with a summer like drink.

It is Friday after all, we made it through another week so why not welcome the weekend with an easy to whip up Salty Chihuahua, a tangy version of a Margherita. This little dog has a bit of a bite so watch out. Happy Friday!

Salty Chihuahua

1 shot Tequila

Grape Fruit Juice (Fresh squeezed keeps the sweetness in check)

Salt

1. Salt the rim of a cocktail glass.

2. Pour Tequila over ice in the glass. Fill with grapefruit juice and add a dash of salt.

3. Take a sip and imagine you are on a beach sans kids, if just for a moment

Ankle Biters Chihuahua (non alcoholic)

Sparkling Water

Grape Fruit Juice (Fresh squeezed keeps the sweetness in check)

Rock Sugar

1. Sugar the rim of a cocktail glass.

2. Fill the glass half full with sparkeling water and then with grapefruit juice.
